Jaws of Justice Radio
It is the intention of Jaws of Justice Radio to investigate how to achieve justice in America, this includes issues of economic injustice, political injustice and the criminal justice system. We want to put a human face on those caught in the grasp of injustice and those that are part of an unjust system. We strive to dispel the misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system.
On the first half of the show, Abe Bonowitz will join host Craig Lubow to talk about current death penalty issues. The discussion will include the impending extermination of inmates in Oklahoma. Abe is the co-founder of Death Penalty Action..

During the second half, host Terri Wilke will speak to a representative with the outstanding Heartland Center for Jobs and Freedom. They create opportunities for workers to learn and exercise their rights, realize their collective power, and develop the leadership skills necessary to advocate for a racially and economically just society. They are the only organization in the region that actively empowers low-wage workers with the tools they need to fight back when their rights are violated.
Their work on protecting tenants from eviction is a hot button issue now as protections offered during the Covid Pandemic are set to expire. We’ll look at how to continue to provide protection for tenants in order to keep people in their homes.
